The best glue

[ZEBRA]

well guys I tried them all on a piece of waste plastic from the hatch cut outs the poxy worked well but when I bent the plastic it came off it was very brittle and I would imagine if you were to use it in a place that could flex it would not last long .
Silicone also worked well but I was able to peal it off in one with a little force.



The evostick worked great and I can see for gluing things like none slip mats or hatch gaskets it being really useful.
But the one that came out top by far was.
Sikaflex it’s now available on ebay for about £10.00 as well so no running around to find it.



It has the consistency of silicone but sticks to everything don’t get it on your clothing or on a piece of boat you don’t want it to stick to I stuck all kinds of bits and bobs to the piece of plastic I had using all the glues you recommended to me as you can see most of them I pulled off with a bit of force but the items I stuck with the siloflex were on tight and I think the will last.



I also found that when making electrical connections you could put a thick coat of the siloflex all around the connections and it formed a waterproof rubber boot when dry I will show some photos of this later in the week when I do a kitting out an x-factor in the rigging section.

have you tried plastic weld, a two part epoxy, i keepmarine tropicals and used this glue to make an overflow box out of acrylic plastic, now thats a swine to get even silcone to stick to,1 year down the line and the box is still water tight and working,if you cant locate the stuff try a good quality modelshop

i have used the epoxy but not the plastic weld does the plastic weld get hot as it cures .

would siklaflex be suitable for mounting a transducer???

[ZEBRA]

i used the siklaflex to mount my transducer about 3 months ago and so far its been great stuck solid .

[s2vto]

have you got any pics? need to mount my transducer on my new yak and was not sure what to use! Does it not have any bubble problems like glue etc?

[ZEBRA]

give me 5 mins and i will go take a picture .its a bit gloppier than silicone all i did was take the applicator nozzle off and squirt a big dollop on to the hull and press the transducer in to it i then put a 8oz weight on the transducer and left it over night its been great so far .

bit awkward taking them in the dark but here they are .hope they help

[s2vto]

cheers.

Looks tidy, think I will get some and do it that way. Heard a lot of good stuff about siklaflex.

thanks again

[ZEBRA]

word of warning dont get it on your clothes it sticks like sh** to a blanket

Sikaflex is one of the better specialist sealants available and not cheap. As Terry says it sticks like **** and will last for years. You will probably find your cars are held together with this product.

Cheers
